Beach weddings are designed to be fun, carefree affairs. The prospect of all your family and friends celebrating together amongst a beach scene backdrop of glorious white sand and the waves crashing on the beach is just bliss. One of the really great things about getting married at the beach is that it can save you some money, you won't need a separate honeymoon, for instance, you will only need to spend decor like nautical signs for sale, which you can buy online with the sea as your backdrop. That means you can spend more money on making your day fun; here are 5 ideas to help you.


Starfish favors

When deciding on a beach wedding, you need to embrace the theme. That means you should follow it through in all aspects of your big day, including the favors. There's no need to give traditional wedding favors such as sugared almonds; take inspiration from your wedding destination and give starfish favors. You could make them into bookmarks or little trinkets; it's entirely up to you.


Seashell escort cards

Help your guests find their place at your wedding table with cute seashell escort cards. You could make your own; there is plenty of inspiration to be found online, or you could purchase some already made for you. Pre-made ones will help you deal with the stress of preparing for your big day. Plus, not having to make your own would give you more time to work through our list of things every woman must do before their wedding day.


Lantern lighting

Imagine watching the sunset with your guests while you are all on the beach; it will be a completely magical moment. There will also be no need for any of the best beach hats for women. The problem is that the beach has little lighting once the sun has gone down. You can remedy this, though, by introducing some lanterns. They will look beautiful and give you enough light to let your party last into the small hours.

Seashell bouquet

Why not match your beach wedding attire with a seashell bouquet? They are incredibly unique and will certainly give your guests something to discuss. They can be made to fit any color theme, and they will last and last, meaning you can cherish the bouquet from your big day forever. You can even make your own, saving yourself some money with a little effort.


Surfboard ceremony sign

Why not welcome everyone to your ceremony with a surfboard ceremony sign? Make sure everybody knows your order of service and the timings of your wedding by having it printed onto a sign resembling a surfboard. It will provide a comic twist for your family and friends while ensuring they have all the essential information about your ceremony. You could take the surfboard theme even further; how about surfboard-shaped menus, seating plans, or even your cake? Surfboards and beaches go hand in hand; why not embrace this as part of your wedding?
